PLOW.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 268,268, dated November28, 1882.

' Application filed June 19, 1882. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern Beit known that I, AUsTINNEELY, of J ackson, in the county of Hinds, andin the State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Plows and Ido hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact deseription'thereot', reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,making a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in plows; and it consistsin the combination of a mold-board having curved extensions and a cutting-edge, astandard and a landside and landside-bar, all constructed andadapted to operate as more fully hereinafter described.

In the annexed drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my improvedplow. Fig. 2 is a vertical section th rough the mold-board, taken in theplane indicated by dotted linem m. Fig. 3 is a bottom view of the plow.

The letterA designates the plow-beam, and B B are the stilts or handles,one of which is bolted to the mold-board E, and the otheris bolted tothe standard 0. The standard 0 is constructed with a flange, c, and itis rigidly bolted to the beam A by means of vertical bolts and nuts a a.The flange c is extended in width below the standard-bracin g portion,andis indicated by the letterc. The standard and the flanges '0 c andthe landside G are cast entire, with a strengthening-rib, 6, near thepoint.

D designates the plow-point, which is a sheath adapted to form thelandside-point and a part of the mold-board. This point, which ispreferably made of steel, is secured by bolts to the plow so that it isremovable. Its landside surface is flush with the landside of the plow.Its mold-board side is also flush with the in Fig. 2, and the object isthat in running a furrow in prairie land the slice will be readilyturned and the lower edge of the mold-board wing will notdrag, nor willit have a tendency to deflect the point.

It will also be observed that the mold-board is adjusted in closerela'tion'to the land-side edge of the standard, thus forming acuttingedge colter, g 9, extending from the point of the plow to thepoint 9, which, when it is taken in connection with the colter orcutting-edge of the standard (J above the n1old-board, afi'ords acontinuity of cutting-edge from the point to the flange N of thestandard. 0 is a diagonal brace.

Having described my invention, I claim- The combination of themold-board E, having the curved extensionsff and the cutting-edge g g,the standard, the landside, and landsidebar, formed as described, allconstructed and adapted to operate substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix mysignature, in

' presence of two witnesses, this 6th day ofJune,

AUSTIN NEELY.
